rec50Claim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: Not Far Enough
Author: Devanie Maxwell
Characters: Jack Malone, Samantha Spade, Danny Taylor, Martin Fitzgerald and introducing original character, Melissa Armstrong. Cameos by Paula Van Doren, and original character Deputy Director Alan Cameron.
Prompt: 41. Redemption.
Rating: PG-13.
Length: Long.
Brief summary: This story looks at just how easy it is to fall into old patterns, even in new settings. When Samantha is transferred to Washington D.C., she and Jack then begin a long-distance affair, as if nothing has changed. It is only when she is offered an even better job even further away that she and Jack both realize just how much they've fallen back into old habits, and how much has to change. The author shifts flawlessly from UST back to RST, and treats each chapter as a little window into both Samantha and Jack's new lives -- both together and apart, and how they intersect. It's an incredibly satisfying love story that sees the characters' flaws as a reason why they should, as opposed to should not, be together.
